A review by bookworm_baggins
William Shakespeare's The Jedi Doth Return by Ian Doescher
4.0
Truly, Star Wars was made for Shakespeare. This book is just amazing - a perfect combination of nerdy fandom but with far more depth and character development that any of the prequels or sequels accomplish. After the author’s note I cannot wait to pick up Empire, and these are books I’m so glad to own. Initially they seemed like just goofy and fun, but the attention to detail and depth is truly fantastic.
Standouts in Jedi include many soliloquys - the rancor keeper (relies heavily on Tales from Jabba’s palace material), Leia’s realization of Luke being her brother, Wedge as the final battle approaches, Luke as he battles against the dark side, Vader as he fights for his soul, and R2 to end the book.
